part of me hates that I so whole heartedly jumped into 531 and that I am suddenly preaching its merit like gospel after taking 5-6 years off from 531. Especially considering I'm still learning...
So, this is where I'm a bit stuck mentally:
Technically I still have the deadlift session for this week coming up (Sunday or potentially Monday) - which is also my highest risk for injury lift...

Have had pretty busy week at work and reduced calories this week intentionally to prepare for this cut I’m about to do. Glad I got the work in Tuesday because Wednesday didn’t happen...

Definitely feeling sore and the wild temp drop just had me...
That really is nice of that guy, and that’s really great that you insist on giving him a very healthy tip. Just good vibes all the way around, and that will show him you are good people too.
And...
Okay, sounds good, and right around where I was thinking, I had 400-600 in my head but was leaning toward 500-600 from Carbnite days probably better to start a little more cautiously since this...
Rest rest rest. I suspect it’s from two weeks of peak consecutively. Your CNS needs to recover. Calories, carbs, creatine, sleep.
Don’t sweat it too much, can’t take the sets back now. Rest and...
Reality is though with most of us on here at least, we're taking multiple pre/intra powders stacked.
For me it's preWO, EAAs, carb powder, electrolytes, creatine, etc. - so in some cases that...
We should be getting flavor samples in within the next couple of weeks.
There's too much going on - increasing inventory levels and new products in the works - to give a definitive timeline on...
Out of curiosity, why lift heavy DLs without a belt? I don't believe there's any downside to it, and given the weights you're pulling, I think it might make sense based on your injury comment.
Here is a video. Regular deadlift and close grip bench in the same video also.
No way for me to do it without straps. I’ll pull 440 with one arm and straps before next summer though!
Injured myself a week after that, been slowly rebuilding.
Best lifts from last week:
paused 345lbs close grip bench press
beltless dealift, 8x465lbs. I’d say it was RPE5
one hand Deadlift...
My approach generally is to weigh in on a consistent basis, regardless of what you pick. So for me, that means 3x / wk on lifting days specifically, post-WO, pre-meal and pre-shower. I try to keep...
This or just weigh multiple times a week then use the average for the week to make sure you are going in the right direction. Many days things fluctuate based on hydration, and just how the body...

No, and I've enjoyed this meet prep. But bodybuilding has always been my first love. For me lately in life it's about doing the things I've always said I'd do - and just doing it. Feel like...
thanks guys, really appreciate it. One of the biggest parts of taking that PR for me is that the next time I have to hit it, a level of fear will already be diminished. knowing I have done it...
THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT HERE!!!
You grew it, and you reaped it. People forget that the cultivation is only part of the process - you must have the determination to reach out & collect...
